In the centre, a woman with hair in a bun and a large rudraksha mala wears a red and orange shawl over orange robes, turning to talk with a bald, smiling elderly man in orange robes and a draped orange cloth. Behind them, a white-turbaned bearded man in glasses, men in white and pale yellow garments, and a man with a red tilak sit attentively. A figure at the left edge wears orange. The scene suggests a satsang gathering. Two seated people in the centre wear rudraksha or ceremonial beads; the woman's role is not identifiable beyond her seated position among devotees.2013-02-06A photograph of sadhus seated on a floor during a feast at a camp, many wearing saffron and orange robes and orange turbans.

Steel plates and glasses sit in front of them, and low wooden tables with more seated orange-clad people are behind.

A woman with long dark braids and a rust-red turban and dress sits on the left, adorned with a large rudraksha mala, and gestures in conversation. Beside her an older bearded man in orange robes with a rudraksha mala holds a mobile phone. At center, a bald man with a vertical tilak on his forehead and an orange shawl sits in a grey armchair, gesturing with one hand. At right, an elderly man in an orange turban and robe holds a rudraksha mala. A bald man in the lower foreground and a partially visible man in orange at far left complete the group. Water bottles sit on a glass table, and red-and-white cloth hangs from a staff near the wall. Ujjain Kumbh Mela context per the page; the scene depicts an informal exchange among ascetics rather than a ritual act.2016-04-22February 15 20132013-02-15Outdoor photograph in bright, hazy light of a group of saffron-robed people standing shoulder to shoulder, looking upward. On the left, an older bald man with a white beard wears an orange wrap and holds his hands together. In the centre, a person with long dark hair wears a rust-red turban with a crest, a red-brown robe and a long gold-beaded garland with a dark mala. Beside them, a woman in an orange shawl holds her hands clasped at her chest and wears a dark bead necklace. Behind them a man with short hair wears an orange robe, and at the right edge a person wears a yellow and orange cloth with a dark mala. The central figure is a person by appearance cues of swept long hair, a crown-like turban and ornate garland, though this is uncertain. Four to six people are visible.2015-01-13
